Illustrated by
Diana Sudyka.
In 1847, at age twenty-nine, Maria Mitchell became the first person to sight a comet through a telescope, garnering international recognition from the scientific community and a medal from the King of Denmark. Sudyka's gouache illustrations, filled with swirls of motion, help convey a sense of wonder about the heavens. "A Bit More About Maria Mitchell--Astronomer, Educator, Activist" and an author's note are appended.
